SC, ST, OBC (non-creamy layer), PwD and ex-servicemen get relaxation as per central rules. Dependants of freedom fighters get up to 5 extra years. Employees of other government departments, PSUs or banks do not get any relaxation.
Selection process
There are four stages and each one is a filter:
- Objective test – 100 questions, 1.5 hours. It covers English, aptitude, GK, Constitution and judiciary, Supreme Court rules and computer knowledge. You need 50 out of 100, and wrong answers cost 0.25.
- Typing test – 10 minutes in English, minimum 35 wpm.
- Descriptive test – comprehension, précis and essay in 2 hours.
- Interview – 25 marks.
The objective test is tentatively on 20 November 2026, which gives you about a month after the form closes. The two sections most people neglect are the Supreme Court Rules, 2013 and the Officers and Servants Rules, 1961 – together they are 20 marks, and they are easy marks if you read the bare text once or twice.
